Racism against aboriginals in B.C. runs so deep that we barely recognize it. It's in our DNA, it's in our children's vocabulary, it's absorbed by new immigrants as soon as they land.
The stereotypes: Indians don't work, don't pay taxes. They're 'chugs' — lazy drunken welfare bums. They're chronically poor because they settle for handouts, and they deserve what they get.
Many average Canadians harbour these attitudes, legacies of racist policies baked into government laws that continue to reverberate throughout our institutions.
And the impacts are clear. Aboriginals are suffering more acutely than any other Canadian community, by any economic and health measure. Proportionately, they vastly overpopulate jails and the foster-care system. They die sooner and face the highest levels of poverty, disease and violence.
They are also the youngest, fastest growing group in Canada, with a median age of 28 compared to 41 for the rest of the population.
Social assistance transfer costs will skyrocket for all Canadians if the suffering continues, says Calvin Helin, a First Nations author who advocates greater self-reliance and economic power for indigenous people.
"This is probably the most important issue that Canada faces," Helin says. "If we will continue to be a prosperous nation we have to fix this, not for altruistic reasons, but in our self-interest."
As far as 76-year-old Alvin Dixon can tell, the racism comes down to everlasting greed.
Dixon — a self-described guinea pig in newly revealed government experiments — was taken from his parents in Bella Bella under the Indian Act. His parents would have been jailed if they refused to release their six children, who were scattered across western Canadian residential schools.
Dixon was placed in Port Alberni Indian School when he was 10. He recently learned the horrific secrets behind questions that always puzzled him.
Dixon and his friends milked cows for chores, but were fed powdered milk. Fresh salmon was abundant nearby in the Pacific, but they ate stale rations of fish from the Atlantic. The kids were made to record their daily portions in spread sheets. They stole potatoes from local farms and ate them raw, Dixon says, because they were always hungry.
"We were all undernourished and thin," Dixon recalls. "I guess if we didn't fill out those sheets we'd be punished. We were strapped, slapped, our knuckles hit with the yard sticks."
When a University of Guelph historian published new evidence showing Dixon's school was among six that Canada used to conduct scientific malnourishment experiments on about 1,000 aboriginal children, Dixon wasn't really surprised, just disappointed.
"The first reaction was anger because nothing has changed, the racism is still here," Dixon says.
Dixon, who was 128 pounds when he graduated Grade 12, studied English at university and eventually became a manager in a fishery business.
He believes racism toward aboriginals in Canada stems from the land grab that established the wealth of our nation at aboriginals' expense. The same factors are still at work, according to Dixon.
"White Canada thinks that we are getting everything for nothing, when they are really getting everything for nothing, because they stole the land and resources from us," Dixon says. "The resource corporations are still after our territories, and they are offering us peanuts. It's beads and trinkets. The racism comes from greed. I've said that over and over again."
Stereotypes are so entrenched and tolerated in Canada, Dixon says, that recent immigrants quickly turn on aboriginals.
"It is in Canadians' DNA. Newer immigrants are acquiring this racism from older Canadians," Dixon says. "One of the aboriginal girls I know that goes to school in North Vancouver was racially bullied. She was told she should go back to the reserve she came from, and we at first assumed it was a white kid. But we found out it was a South Asian girl.
"And where did she learn it? From the white kids she is with."
Mo Dhaliwal, a young Vancouver high-tech executive who is passionate about eliminating racism, shares Dixon's assessment. Racism towards aboriginals is in Canada's bones. Dhaliwal noticed it first in Abbotsford's Punjabi community, where he grew up.
"Some people would talk about them, like, 'They're just a bunch of chugs,'" Dhaliwal says. "In the Punjabi community, if you talked about Indians it was just dismissive. It was an assumption that they were savages, drunk and lazy."
Dhaliwal says he believes Canadian immigrants are deeply sensitized to systemic racism because of what they face upon arrival. But they also quickly recognize Canada's racial pecking order, with aboriginals stuck at the bottom.
Mary Ellen Turpel Lafond, B.C.'s Representative for Children, probably knows better than anyone the institutional and personal racism that aboriginals face in B.C.
Turpel Lafond — a Harvard-educated judge from Saskatchewan who is Cree — and her husband George Lafond, a treaty commissioner in Saskatchewan, are arguably at the top of Canada's meritocracy, and look the part. But even they face racism.
"It is painful, I bear witness," she says. "We see the situation where we've gone to the pharmacy and my husband buys mouthwash and they've made the point to him, 'Please don't drink it.' It's the reminder that this is how we see your family, this is how we see your children.
"It's imprinted on me."
Many of the abuse and self-harm cases Turpel Lafond investigates involve foster children. Of 8,000 children placed in foster care in B.C., 5,000 are aboriginal. That ratio is much higher than the already stunning national average of 48 per cent aboriginal children in foster care.
It's "grotesquely clear" that destruction to aboriginal families in residential schools continues to echo and disintegrate First Nation children in the system, Turpel Lafond says.
She says the failed policies of the Indian Act still directly impact, as family maintenance orders can't be enforced on reserves and police are barred from stopping assaults.
"I feel like we are screaming in a snow storm — we have to have basic equity in family supports," she says.
"I've had hundreds and hundreds of cases where a woman is victim of persistent domestic violence, there are children in the home, and there is no safehouse. It creates a ghetto mentality, because the nuts and bolts of our family policy in Canada don't apply on our reserves."
"The Indian Act still has racist statutes on the books, which is quite an affront," she adds. "It needs to be torn up."
The children Turpel Lafond deals with are doubly hurt, by institutional failings and the racist thoughts that other children have absorbed in Canadian society.
"When they go to school, they face other children saying aboriginal people are drunks, or homeless, or they don't pay tax. Young people are hurt by that, and they express that to me regularly," Turpel Lafond says.
"The weight of racism on top of failed policies is a pretty toxic combination."
Racial bullying makes many young aboriginals feel shame about their origins and dream of being white, according to social workers and teens interviewed by The Province in East Vancouver. Some aboriginal teens even use racial taunts against others.
"Older girls were telling me, 'Your mom is a welfare bum. She's alcoholic,'" one 14-year-old girl who was put in care for cutting her wrists, told The Province.
Ginger Gosnell-Myers — a young aboriginal leader working with the City of Vancouver — helped complete a 2010 Environics Institute survey of non-natives in major Canadian cities which suggests racism against aboriginals is well-hidden. Very few respondents made racist remarks, but 25 per cent of non-natives surveyed in Vancouver had dismissive opinions of aboriginals as freeloaders.
Ernie Crey was the first high-profile aboriginal leader to speak out when women began disappearing from the Downtown Eastside in the early 1990s. In a horrible irony, his sister Dawn Crey disappeared from the neighbourhood in 2000, and her DNA was found in a trailer on Robert Pickton's pig farm.
Crey compares the crisis for aboriginals in the DTES to the first case he had as a young social worker in the 1970s.
He remembers travelling into the bush off Highway 16 outside Prince George to meet 150 members of the Tsay Keh Dene band, who were flooded out of their territory by the building of the W.A.C. Bennett Dam in 1968.
Band members were suffering from tuberculosis and impetigo, and were not being accepted into schools and hospitals. Flooding destroyed their hunting grounds, homes, trap lines and graves. Promises made to the band by the government were broken.
"They were living in the direst poverty in Canada," Crey recalls. "I don't see the difference between what I see in the Downtown Eastside, and what I saw 40 years ago in the bush near Prince George. All sorts of promises were made to these people that were not kept, so here they are, high and dry."
There is much work to do, but there is evidence of progress, says Wade Grant, a young Musqueam band councillor who also sits on Vancouver's Police Board.
"My grandfather never would have believed I'd be sitting on a board," Grant says. "It took about 100 years for the government of Canada to almost decimate our culture, and it will take a long time to heal."

Sliding down a chimney is so cliché. But a Santa who skydives? Now that's a holiday spectacle worth traveling for. And that's how he'll arrive this year at the Four Seasons Mauritius, which orchestrates a dramatic new entrance for St. Nick every year (last year's was by pirate ship).
Santa, of course, visits lots of resorts over the holiday travel season. But the Four Seasons and other hotels are taking that visit to a spectacular new level, giving travelers one more reason to jet off to a relaxing resort during a traditionally stressful time.
Experiencing these dramatic arrivals may take some planning. Sometimes, Santa makes his entrance on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Other times, he shows up as early as November (and may make return visits to accommodate guest schedules). Either way, it's usually not going to cost you extra: in keeping with the Christmas spirit, Santa's activities are included in the resort fee.
Even better, Santa usually sticks around and makes himself available for photo ops, mingling with guests at a children's party or joining them for a swim.
So what qualifies as a great entrance? At the Oberoi, Sahl Hasheesh, on the Red Sea, Santa ditches his reindeer and arrives by camel. He and his caravan then join a children's party with gifts for all the kids, who also get a chance to go for camel rides. And Santa makes sure that each child gets a stocking filled with holiday cookies.

You don't have to travel to an exotic location to experience a dramatic entrance. At the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia, hotel guests are all given jingling bells to welcome Santa, who arrives in a classic horse-drawn sleigh. There's a life-size ice sculpture of his sleigh and reindeer, and a holiday party known as the Gingerbread Ball.
This year, don't settle for an ordinary hotel Santa. Pack up the kids and your holiday gifts and check out these resorts where Santa's entrance is—like the holiday season itself—extraordinary.

Hannah Montana tween sensation Miley Cyrus talks to TV Guide about her new album Breakout, her 3-D movie, and the seven things she can't live without.
On what she'd like to work on in the future: "I'd love to do a younger, cleaner version of Sex and the City."
On her controversial Vanity Fair photo spread: "I don't dwell on the negativity. I want to be a positive role model, so we just try to keep [that stuff] as much not talked about as possible."
On her 'sudden' fame: "It was insane. All of a sudden I woke up one day and went to Macy's and saw myself on a T-shirt. I feel empowered when I see my face on a T-shirt. A girl wouldn't be wearing a shirt with me on it just because she liked my show. She must look up to me."
On her big love for God: "I don't know what I would do without a God that blesses me with the ability to do this."
On wearing a purity ring like fellow Disney stars the Jonas Brothers "I like to think of myself as the girl that no one can get, that no one can keep in their hand. Even at my age, a lot of girls are starting to fall and I think if [staying a virgin] is a commitment girls make, that's great."
The seven things she can't live without in honor of her latest single, "7 Things": 1) "The Bible. It's my 'how-to' guide for life." 2) "My mommy!" 3) "My Yorkie Roadie and my lovebird Zazu." 4) "Grilled cheese. Mmm…" 5) "Music and my beautiful Gibson guitar." 6) "My black Chuck Taylor Converse sneakers." 7) "My Sidekick."
The TV Guide July 21st special double issue is on newsstands Thursday, July 17th, which includes free 3-D glasses to view Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert airing on the Disney Channel on July 26.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 (UPI) -- Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said approval for the U.S. Congress is so low even his 101-year-old mother has withdrawn her support.
McCain, who has often joked that approval for the federal legislative body is down to paid staff members and blood relatives, said following a Tuesday Gallup poll measuring congressional approval at a record low that blood relatives can no longer be counted on, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday.
"Well, I got a call from my mother who's 101," McCain said, adding the centenarian is upset at the legislative body's recent work, so lawmakers have now "even lost my mother."

Thanks Jeannie! (and Chris) Will try to get a look at it somewhere along the way before we get there!
Will we know ahead of time where our RV spot is? We don't anticipate getting there until 7:00 or 8:00 PM on Tuesday so all y'all might not be around.Thanks,
Where is exhibitor check-in? When is it each day? If someone comes in the afternoon on Tuesday or Wednesday can they still check in? What about early Thursday before briefing?We have to walk our dogs into the ring without a leash? I am not comfortable with that with either of my dogs. If I have to hand off my leash before going into the ring, can I carry my dogs in?It looks like the champs ring is enormous. Are the obstacles spread out in that whole space? So the spacing between obstacles is much greater than in a normal trial?Is it everyone walk (in groups) and then everyone runs? I thought the pre-elite courses are different from the normal courses. Is it built into the normal course? Does the numbering just stop ten obstacles short of the normal runs or something? Are the obstacles moved closer together in order to create the shorter, more-like-a-normal-trial course?
It just seemed like the video said: the judge says "good luck," you take off your leash, and then you walk into the ring.So will there be a separate course map posted for pre-elite? I won't have to look at the elite one and guess the changes?

http://wildhunt.org/blog/2009/09/the-th ... ct-19.htmlWhile Dan Halloran isn't the first openly Pagan candidate running for political office, he may be the first to actually have a shot at winning. Halloran, who is running as an "independent" Republican against Democrat Kevin Kim for a seat on the New York City Council, was recently outed as a prominent Theodsman by the Queens Tribune.
And does anyone actually know what a "Theodsman" is? Perhaps its living in Canada's Bible Belt, but I've never heard of the term before (Yes, I could look it up on Google, but where's the fun in discussion then ).

The importance is in the detail.

Yeah btw, was misled by Wowprogress, Irae Aod is 7th and Wraith is 8th
Still you get my point. First kill only, not fourth.Originally Posted by Abb
We killed boss faster than another guild did it, why the other guild ranked higher?Originally Posted by Tinuviel
You killed the boss in the same day (or week for bosses ranked by lockout) which means you got the same amount of points.
Ranking by points means your position depends on your points, not kill time. Previous tier points will be used for sorting in this case.
So example
On day one Wraith kills 11/12 bosses.
On day two Irae AoD kills 11/12 bosses.
Then Irae AoD kills lich king first, and after them is wraith
Irae AoD gets more points, cuz they progressed faster.

Don't need the example, when i posted Wraith points were not updated and showed as below Irae Aod.Originally Posted by Shalaman
So no i was not arguing against Wowprogress classification
Wraith was 4th world 11/12 ICC25 H, so i guess that's why they are now ranked higher than Irae Aod.
Kills, meaning more than one boss can be reported here.Originally Posted by Abb
The collective first kill of many bosses.
Calling BS. France can't play, this thread is a lie.

MLB Network's 10th Greatest Game, Childhood & Homerun Memories
I am so enjoying MLBN's 20 Greatest Games series. I haven't seen them all but, with my very Dodgers childhood, I definitely could not miss this evening's episode: 1988 World Series Game One! I remember that evening vividly. It was a Saturday night, date night for my parents, so my sister and I were enjoying a small Domino's pizza and had the beginnings of a truly epic Lego castle complete with maze winding its way across the den floor in front of the TV. I may have been too old for a lot of toys at that point but if you're ever too old for Legos, well then, you're just too old.
We were so disappointed, my sister and I, when they announced that Kirk Gibson wouldn't be able to play. New to the Dodgers that year, He was already one of our favorites, right up there with Mike Scioscia, Orel Hershiser, Alfredo Griffin and Mickey Hatcher – is it any wonder why I say watching the Angels for me now is like watching the Dodgers of my youth, my Dodgers? Now, if my friends were any indication, pre-teen girls in Los Angeles were supposed to prefer Steve Sax in those days – Sexy Saxy as one young lady who may or may not have really understood her own nickname, called him. I didn't dislike him at all, but I wasn't seeing it.
As you can tell, this was quite the fun trip down memory lane for me. Hatcher's improbable home run. My first real exposure to baseball's unusually intimate relationship with the flying fickle finger of fate when the broadcast team felt the need to put "Joe Canseco has never hit a grand slam before" among his stats as he came up to bat with bases loaded. Ouch! The looooong tense wait for something, anything good to happen for the Dodgers. Scioscia scoring Mike Marshall in the 6th to bring the game within one run. Two and a half very tense innings, plus two outs and then hearing Vin Scully say "And look who's coming up…" Oh that hopeful, long drawn out at bat. The pitch Gibson fouled off and watching him stagger towards first on two bad legs. And then, the hit. What a hit! Pandamonium. Legos flying everywhere, as we jumped up and down and cheered. I only know Vin Scully's famous call of the hit from all of the replays afterwards. We were too loud to hear it when the homerun actually happened.
Dave Stewart, the A's starting pitcher from game 1 was a very entertaining narrator. I had no idea that he hit Sax in the first inning because of some trash talk the day before. I no longer think I was being fanciful when I thought maybe Sax tipped his helmet a bit at Stewart before he took his base. It was great to hear about the famous hit from the man himself, interviewed via satellite from Spring Training in Arizona. The fact that Bob Costas, host of 20 Greatest Games, was present for Game 1 and played a few interesting roles in both that game and the Series gave this episode a nice touch. It was Costas who emphatically announced that there was no way Gibson could play at the beginning of the game. Later, standing in the hallway ready to walk out onto the field for postgame interviews, Costas overheard Gibson's painful warm-up session in the batting cage in those last moments of the bottom of the 9th. Costas also reminded about how he accidentally inspired Tommy Lasorda's "Kill Costas" rallying cry to the team with one of his pre-Series broadcasts about the A's. I had completely forgotten about this detail, though it amused me to no end at the time.
Back in 1988, I remember getting goose bumps all up and down my arms when I watched Kirk Gibson hit that ball, knowing even then that I had just seen one of the great hits. Watching it all over again in a full game highlight reel format, I still get goose bumps.

OTTAWA — Canada could have trouble keeping genetically engineered salmon out of the food supply if the U.S. government approves the first genetically engineered animal that people can eat.
And according to an internal analysis obtained by Postmedia News, one potential solution is to simply follow the U.S. lead, in order to avoid trade complications. That would mean allowing the GE fish in the Canadian market.
AquaBounty Technologies, based in Massachusetts, is seeking approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to sell its GE Atlantic salmon, called AquAdvantage, in the United States. But FDA approval could have ramifications for consumers north of the border, Canadian government officials say.
"If the product enters the U.S. market before it is approved to enter the Canadian food supply, it could result in bilateral trade complications. Canadian importers would need to ensure that any salmon or salmon product brought to Canada does not contain illegal GE salmon. Given the complexity of supply chains — particularly for processed foods — this could be difficult," states the Agriculture Canada memo on the commercialization of new technology.
The document, shared with staff in Health Canada's food directorate, was prepared in June 2010 by officials at Agriculture Canada in consultation with staff at the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT). The memo was drafted in preparation for a meeting of a Canada-U.S. committee on agriculture.
"Canada could also face complications in foreign markets if it is unable to provide assurance that its supply chain is free of GE salmon," the document states, raising the possibility of harmonizing approaches when it comes to GE animals.
"We want to work closely with the U.S. to ensure our approval processes for GE animals compliment (sic) one another and that we avoid any potential bilateral complications. Canada-U.S. regulators work closely together on an ongoing basis, but perhaps there is merit in seeking specific opportunities for them to meet and talk about GE animals," the document states under the heading of "talking points" for the meeting.
AquaBounty plans to transform its research facility in Prince Edward Island into a commercial hatchery to produce GE salmon eggs. The eggs would then be sent to an inland fish farm in Panama, where the GE Atlantic salmon would be raised and processed before being shipped as food for the U.S. market.
The company submitted its application to the FDA years ago, and received some good news in September 2010 when the FDA released its preliminary analysis. It concluded that the salmon — engineered to grow twice as fast as normal fish thanks to a growth hormone gene from chinook salmon and a genetic on-switch from the eel-like ocean pout — are safe to eat.
The FDA, which regulates GE animals as new animal drugs, also said in its preliminary analysis that the GE salmon were not expected to have a significant impact on the environment. A final decision on the application has not yet been made, although opponents continue to raise possible health concerns and worries that if the fish escaped, they could threaten wild fish stocks.
Even if the U.S. approves AquaBounty's application to sell GE salmon as food in the U.S., the company will need approval from Environment Canada to manufacture the GE fish eggs in Prince Edward Island, to be shipped to Panama. Approval falls under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA).
And if the company wants to sell its GE salmon as food in Canada, AquaBounty would be required to receive approval from Health Canada. Unlike in the U.S., Canada considers a GE animal to be a novel food, not a new animal drug.
As of June 2010, the department had yet received such an application from AquaBounty, the memo states.
Health Canada says it can't say whether this has changed in the past 18 months, citing confidentiality. AquaBounty has also declined to say whether it has filed a submission with Health Canada.
From Michael Hart's perspective, the memo drafted for a bilateral meeting of agriculture officials is an "unexceptional brief and fairly responsible one."
The specialist in trade policy at Carleton University's Norman Paterson School of International Affairs said the authors of the memo review the "implications of not being on the same page" while operating under the general requirement that, "to the extent possible, they should avoid regulatory friction just for the sake of being different," said Hart.
The problem is Health Canada, "typically being slower" than its U.S. counterpart, is often playing catch up, added Hart.
"You know, they wait for everybody else to decide and then they make the same decision. It hasn't reached that stage yet and that might create some short-term trade problems. We've been working for years to create an integrated market and an integrated market requires that you smooth out as many as these problems as you can."
Leo Broderick sees things differently. The vice-chair of the Council of Canadians says the regulatory process for approving a GE animal in Canada is different — and that's a good thing, even if it means food inspections would need to be beefed up to ensure the GE salmon doesn't enter the food system in Canada.
"If it's approved in the United States as a veterinary drug, then it will have to undergo an evaluation in Canada as a novel food, and I expect the scrutiny will be much tighter here in Canada," said Broderick, based in Charlottetown.

What: "Grace, or The Art of Climbing" world premiere
When: Today through Feb. 17
Where: The Space Theatre, Denver Center for the Performing Arts, 1101 13th St., Denver
Info: denvercenter.org/buy. NOTE: Boulder residents can save $5 on performances through Feb. 10 by using this promo code: BOULDER
When Kynan Waggoner looks at a climbing wall or bouldering problem, his brain begins churning and formulating new ways to get from the bottom to the top.
The climbing wall, whether it's been climbed before or not, is a blank canvas for him to sketch lines on with his body.
In this sense, Waggoner considers himself less of an athlete and more of an artist.
"If I'm bouldering, I'm rarely climbing the taped routes," said Waggoner, a Boulder resident who serves as operations director of USA Climbing. "I look at the wall, and the tape is secondary. I just see a bunch of handholds by which I want to create something."
Waggoner brings both his artistic and athletic abilities to the play "Grace, or The Art of Climbing," which makes its world premiere today at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts' Space Theatre.
The playwright, Lauren Feldman, approached Waggoner last spring and asked him to be the show's climbing consultant, teaching actors with no climbing experience how to squeeze their feet into tiny climbing shoes and scale walls effortlessly on stage.
Waggoner agreed to the new challenge. The 37-year-old, who's been climbing since his early 20s, began setting competition routes in 2000. He and his brother opened a climbing gym in Miami, where Waggoner worked as manager and youth climbing team coach.
A little more than five years ago, Waggoner moved to Boulder, the home of USA Climbing and a hub for climbers worldwide.
When the seven "Grace" cast members arrived in Denver in December, Waggoner showed them what it's like to be a first-timer at a climbing gym.
Waggoner said the actors learned what hundreds of stinky feet and chalk bags smell like, how sore those tiny, hidden muscles can feel the next day and to applaud when someone's climb transcends athleticism and approaches beautiful choreography.
"Grace, or The Art of Climbing" follows Emm (Julie Jesneck) a 25-year-old woman living in Miami who is trying to process changes in her interpersonal relationships, including her father. She begins climbing, joins a gym and uses the sport as a way to work through grief, depression and change.
The lessons Emm learns while climbing apply to her life: It's OK to fall, take time to breathe, and realize it's not about the end point but about the steps along the way.
"What do you do when you feel yourself slipping?" Emm asks her unofficial climbing coach and mentor, Sims.
"You get your breathing under control; you focus. You grip tighter," he answers, speaking only partially about climbing.
Waggoner emphasized that in no way is the play comparable to Cirque du Soleil, adding that the movement and climbing skills are secondary to the actors' emotional connections with each other and the audience.
Feldman wrote the script to be performed on a spectrum of movement, which ranged from full-on climbing to a version where the actors' feet never leave the ground.
The idea of using the actors, not the set, to tell the story intrigued Feldman when she began writing the script. The challenge for the actors, who each play two to three characters, and director Mike Donahue became channeling climbing feelings and situations to the audience without relying heavily on the set.
"In a film, you can put a bunch of actors on a cliff and film them actually climbing," Feldman said. "But you wouldn't have an actual cliff on stage. I have no interest in seeing the cliff or a climbing wall. How does one evoke the essence of these things in a more poetic way? To me, it's so much more exciting to watch an actor tell me or create with words and their body what is happening."
The fascination of the main character, Emm, with climbing is also not really about the sport itself. It's about deriving meaning from climbing lessons and principles and translating them to her life, Feldman said.
One lesson in particular stuck out to actor M. Scott McLean. Waggoner taught the cast that hanging from their body's skeleton rather than muscling up the wall is the most efficient and sustainable way to climb.
McLean said he found parallels between that lesson, Emm's struggles and his own life.
"If you hang on your bones, it's so much easier," McLean said. "No matter how hard something is, there's a way to make it easier on yourself. It is hard to overcome disappointment and grief when a relationship breaks up or your relationship with your parent changes.
"But in that journey, you can find ways to change your perspective, breathe, realize where your feet are. We don't have to muscle through it, we can find grace."

Black & White (TCG)
Pokémon TCG: Black & White (Japanese: ブラックコレクション Black Collection and ホワイトコレクション White Collection) is the name given to the first main expansion of cards from the English Black & White Series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The Japanese release is the first of the BW era.
The set features significant aesthetic and structural changes and brings several reworked mechanics and rulings to the game.
A new generation of Pokémon has arrived! The Pokémon Trading Card Game: Black & White expansion brings you a legion of over 70 new Pokémon from the newly explored Unova region, including the Legendary Reshiram and Zekrom, both featuring never-before-seen art that covers the ENTIRE card! The Pokémon TCG: Black & White expansion is your gateway to a bigger Pokémon world!
Black & White marks the beginning of the Pokémon Trading Card Game series of the same name and is the first expansion to feature Generation V Pokémon. Based on Pokémon Black and White and the concept of starting from a new beginning, Black & White is almost entirely composed of newly-introduced Generation V Pokémon; 72 in total, and explores the original roots of the TCG, both in terms of card design and gameplay in an effort to engage younger players.
With the start of a new Generation, Black & White introduced an updated card design, which included numerous changes:
- The card border returns to a completely yellow border in the English release, and to a completely silver border in the Japanese release. All other graphics on the cards return to a silver color without the gold tinges.
- The unfinished circle used on Basic Pokémon, as well as the evolution circle present on Stage 1 and 2 Pokémon merge with the evolution stage graphic, which is now in the top left, similar to cards from the original era of the TCG.
- The Pokémon name is shifted further to the right as a result and is made more prominent with the addition of a silver frame, the right edge of which is reminiscent of the skewed curve graphic on EX Series cards, which also gains additional layers on higher stage evolution cards. This also separates the Pokémon name and the Hit Points, which returns to having no graphic behind it. The "Evolves from" clause on Stage 1 and 2 Pokémon remains in the illustration window.
- The Weakness, Resistance and Retreat Cost return to the bottom left of the card, and the Pokédex entry returns to the bottom right in its own frame (albeit skewed to the right), as they were on Japanese Original era releases. The English cards also adopt this change, and also shorten "retreat cost" to "retreat". As a result, the illustrator bar is no longer present, and the illustrator name itself is at the very bottom to the left of the collection number and expansion symbol.
- For the first time since the Team Rocket expansion in English and the very first set in Japan, the Cosmos Holofoil treatment used on Rare cards changed to a horizontal striped pattern, called Tinsel Holofoil. This treatment is also applied to the border of Japanese Rare cards.
- For the first time in the history of the TCG, the English card numbering system changed from ordering Pokémon cards alphabetically and by descending rarity (Rare Holo, Rare, Uncommon, Common) to conform to the Japanese ordering system based on type (Grass, Fire, Water, Lightning, Psychic, Fighting, Darkness, Metal, Colorless) and National Pokédex number. All Trainer cards are listed in alphabetical order regardless of rarity.
- Another first for the TCG was the change of using letters instead of regular shapes to symbolize rarity on Japanese cards. replaces on Common cards; replaces on Uncommon cards; replaces on Rare cards; replaces symbols such as on Super-Rare cards; replaces symbols such as on Ultra-Rare cards. English cards continued to use the original rarity symbols.
Black & White also introduces one new game mechanic, while discontinuing several others. Abilities, much like their namesake in the Pokémon games, replace the long-standing Poké-Powers and Poké-Bodies. Abilities essentially merge the active and passive effects of Poké-Powers and Poké-Bodies into one mechanic akin to Pokémon Powers present during the original and Neo eras of the TCG. Pokémon Prime and Pokémon LEGEND are also officially retired, making Black & White the first expansion since Skyridge to not feature powered-up variant Pokémon. The Super-Rare cards in the expansion take some inspiration from Pokémon LEGEND, in that the artwork covers the entire card and each one has a unique Holofoil effect; however, they remain exactly the same play-wise as their regular Rare Holofoil counterparts.
Several new rule changes also came into effect with the release of Black & White:
- Trainer cards can once again be played during a players' first turn. Goods cards first introduced in the HeartGold and SoulSilver Collections in Japan are now featured in the localised TCG as Item cards. These cards retain their blue color designation and receive an updated ruling stating a player can use as many Item cards as they like during their turn.
- The change brought about in Diamond & Pearl that made Supporter and Stadium cards separate classes of card has now been reversed, but both keep their individual color designations. The original rule that stipulated Supporter cards were to be discarded at the end of a players' turn has been changed to require players to discard them immediately after use. This change was likely brought about to avoid confusion between Pokémon Tool cards and Support cards that would have otherwise still been attached to the Active Pokémon.
- The procedure in which Knock Outs are carried out has been slightly altered. Previously, after the player with the Knocked Out Pokémon discards that Pokémon, they would replace that Pokémon with one from their Bench, and the player performing the Knock Out would proceed to take one Prize card. This has been changed to the player performing the Knock Out takes one Prize card, followed by the player with the Knocked Out Pokémon replacing that Pokémon with one from their Bench. This change essentially prevents the player performing the Knock Out from selecting a Prize card based on their opponent's new Active Pokémon.
The booster pack size for the Japanese expansion was reduced from 11 to 5, plus one card advertising the TCG and several related products (universal for each pack). Each pack now costs ¥158 as opposed to ¥315, making the packs more within the price range of a younger target audience. Energy cards could not be found in packs but could be obtained in card boxes sold alongside the expansion. Each of these card boxes feature several themed designs and come with 40 Energy cards. The chance of obtaining a Rare card was also reduced to 1 in 2 packs, as opposed to a guaranteed Rare card. Mirror cards introduced in the HeartGold and SoulSilver Collections were also discontinued in the Japanese expansion. The pack size for the English expansion remained unchanged at 10 cards per pack.
The focus of starting afresh and the aim to involve younger children in the TCG in Japan was further emphasized with the redesign of the official Pokémon card website. Much of the new content was simplified and broken down into step-by-step guides with regards to the basics of the TCG. A great deal of past information, including the trading card database, was temporarily moved to the Pokémon Card Game Network site, accessible only via a Pokémon Daisuki Club account. New online content for regions outside of Japan was introduced in the form of the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online, which allowed users to select an avatar and battle computer-controlled opponents in simulated card battles. Players could select a number of pre-constructed decks to use, or add to their online collection by scanning the QR codes of special cards included in booster packs and Theme Decks accompanying the Black & White expansion.
The prerelease card for this set is Darmanitan.
Set lists
Pack Artwork
- A fixed selection of five cards from the expansion were available in a Black & White Preview Pack included in the Sneak-Peek Tins roughly seven weeks before the commercial release of the expansion.
- The names of the accompanying theme decks are a reference to the first three Japanese main series games, as well as the types of the Unova Starter Pokémon.
- Several other Trainer cards released in this expansion also received updated effects and errata. Perhaps the most interesting change was the errata issued for Rare Candy, which now prevents its use on the players' first turn and on the turn a Basic Pokémon was just brought into play. This essentially allows the new rules regarding Trainer cards to become viable again, as the initial restrictions imposed in Diamond & Pearl were to limit the over-use of Rare Candy, among others.
- Trainer cards in Japan had a possessive 's added to the "Trainer" graphic on the top left. Similarly, the Supporter subclass changed from サポーター Supporter to サポート Support. Neither of these changes had an effect on gameplay.
- The inclusion of Pikachu as an Ultra-Rare card is a likely reference as to the scarcity of Pikachu and other pre-Generation V Pokémon in the Unova region, which is also referenced in the anime.

I started as an intern working full time and fast forward a year I asked for a salary and got it. I went from 10 dollars to 42k a year, I asked for 45k and he said thats "impossible with our budget." Initially he countered with 40k and i said thats too low and he was like "well dont take it than" but eventually caved in for 42k. My reasoning for 45k was not just an analysis of others but that i have a degree in is and regardless, someone with a degree should make 44-45k starting some what easier ..
The problem is that a little bird told me that this position should be paying 50k. See, I am a "jr qa engineer" which is made up here, im the only one. The others are "qa engineers." I am no jokes, doing the EXACT same work as these "qa engineers." Often they ask me for help on remedial tasks, making me question what their real salary is. According to glassdoor and friends of friends, the lowest is 47k and highest 57k. I am surprised at 57k since its a small private company.
So to me 42k sounds fair as a lower position, but this MADE up position makes no sense. I am doing the same work so i should have the same title, am i just being naive? this makes perfect sense to me. He wont make me an engineer because i have 1 year of experience, im almost fine with that but i dont like the idea he gives me the same work and expects the same results as me as the other engineers for a portion of their pay. I know if i go in and try to negotiate again hes going to either rescind it or tell me to deal with it, i like him and hes reasonable but i wish he would consider the fact that i do the same work as every one else! if i got paid 5k less, fine, but its almost 10k
Sorry im not sure if this is an appropriate question here but this is the only place i know i can ask questions about SQA
Btw this is for a job that is strictly manual testing

I'd like to see the mention of Tennisopolis by the USTA. The USTA "Find a Player" got me only two people contacting me, and the players overrated themselves. Nice guys though.
Where did you see this press release Jazz?
Ahhhh, thanks for clearing that up. And regarding your idea, I think you are on to something there. It takes a long time to build up critical mass and participation. Tennisopolis is the industry leader in the field and would love to work with the USTA in some capacity.

Global Endoscopy Devices Market is Expected to Reach USD 36.9 Billion by 2019: Transparency Market Research
11 Jul, 2014, 12:30 BST
ALBANY, New York, July 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research "Endoscopy Devices Market (Endoscopes, Endoscopic Operative Devices, and Visualization Systems) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013-2019" the global endoscopy devices market was valued at USD 24.9 billion in 2012 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2013 to 2019, to reach an estimated value of USD 36.9 billion in 2019.

Endoscopy procedures are performed by inserting rod shaped telescope and specialized instruments through small incisions in the body. These procedures can be diagnostic as well as operative, and are explored for various areas of surgery including gastrointestinal, urological, ENT, cardiovascular and joint surgeries. As these are minimally invasive procedures, they provide various advantages over open surgeries such as reduced blood loss, reduced chances of infection, shorter hospital stay, and quick recovery. Due to these advantages, the adoption of endoscopy is increasing rapidly; especially in the field of oncology.
An endoscopy system comprises of an endoscope, visualization system (which includes the camera, control unit, illumination devices, image processing devices, and display) and various specialized operative instruments (which include energy systems, internal closure devices, irrigation systems, and others). An endoscope that is rigid, finds applications in arthroscopy and laparoscopies and flexible endoscopes have application in gastrointestinal, urology and other systems where rigid endoscope may not reach. Modern endoscopes called as videoscopes have a "chip-on-tip" which deliver better image quality and are more durable. Fiberoptic endoscopes are fragile and delicate, hence get damaged easily. This is a major driver for videoscopes market and the technology is expected to replace fiberoptic and rod-lens systems in the near future. Consistent technological advances have added new products to the market and expanded boundaries of the endoscopy devices market. Capsule endoscopes and robot assisted endoscopes have revolutionized the endoscopy market.
The capsule shaped devices possess built-in camera unit and wireless transmission system which delivers high quality images to external receiver as they pass through the gastrointestinal tract. The device has made diagnosis of gastrointestinal tract more efficient as the capsule is able to deliver images for intestinal areas where flexible endoscope cannot reach. Given Imaging (acquired by Covidien) accounts for about 85% of the global capsule endoscopy market share. Other key players in the capsule endoscopy market include Olympus, IntroMedic and Jinshan Medical. Intuitive Surgical leads the robot assisted endoscopy market with its flagship Da Vinci surgical system. Other companies making their mark in the robot assisted endoscopy market include Endo Control, Inc., Olympus, Meere Company, Inc., MAKO Surgical and Titan Medical, Inc. Visualization systems have been a prominent area of technological advancements.

The development of chromoendoscopy has added another dimension to the evolving market of endoscopy. Three dimensional (3D) camera systems have improved the depth perception and hence reduced errors during surgery and which has further reduced the overall surgery time. Endoscopic ultrasound devices now allow doctors to effectively diagnose intestinal tract, which might be difficult to diagnose otherwise with traditional ultrasound devices. As the ultrasound device is close to the organ as, the images obtained are more accurate giving better examination of the intestinal tract.

Although various merits are propelling the endoscopy devices market, some factors impede the acceptance of several endoscopic devices. Prominent among these factors is the high cost of latest technology devices, which has delayed the penetration of these products in developing countries. Lack of skilled professionals is also a major concern for the market to develop. Considering various market dynamics, companies are eying Asian countries which mainly include India, China, and Japan for lucrative opportunities in future. Rapidly developing economic condition, improving healthcare sector, available disposable income, and large consumer base in emerging economies such as India, China, Brazil and South-East Asia due to high prevalence of diseases will drive the endoscopy devices market in these countries.

Rush Limbaugh has responded to his mention in Jay-Z's latest song, "Off That" – with an attack on the president.
"I have been mentioned in a rap song by the rapper Jay-Z. He has a new song out there. What's the name of the song? I don't know what the name of the song is," he said on "The Rush Limbaugh Show" on Tuesday.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Barack Obama
The song, which leaked earlier this week and will appear on the rapper's much-anticipated album "The Blueprint 3," features the verses "This ain't black vs. white, my nigga, we off that / Please tell Bill O'Reilly to fall back / Tell Rush Limbaugh to get off my b***s / it's 2010, not 1864."
At least part of the verse appears to respond to FOX host Bill O'Reilly, who attacked Jay-Z in January for his freestyle during a performance of Young Jeezy's "My President Is Black," in which the rapper proclaimed, "No more white lies / my president is black."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Hottest Hip-Hop Stars!
"I think it is low class," Bill said at the time. "That was awful."
As for Rush, he appeared honored to have made it into Jay's song – but responded with political criticism of President Barack Obama.
"As far as I know I have never been mentioned in a rap song by anybody," Rush said. " I guess it means I've made it. I'm now in a rap tune by the famous rapper Jay-Z. I would remind the rapper Jay-Z: Mr. Z, it is President Obama who wants to mandate circumcision. We had that story yesterday; and that means if we need to save our penises from anybody, it's Obama. I did not know I was on anybody's b***s, either. I'm happy to know that they think I am, though! "
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Stars Supporting Their Candidates
Rush's reference addresses the news, reported by the New York Times on Sunday, that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention is considering the recommendation of routine circumcision for male babies in order to help reduce the spread of H.I.V. According to the Times, 79 percent of American males are circumcised.
Jay-Z's "The Blueprint 3," which will also feature tracks "D.O.A. (Death of Autotune)" and "Run This Town," featuring Rihanna and Kayne West, is due on September 11.

Will Katy Perry's 'The One That Got Away' Be Sixth No. 1 Single from 'Teenage Dream?'
Katy Perry is about to release a new pop single from her album 'Teenage Dream'– and it could make history for her.
The song will be 'The One That Got Away.' All five of Perry's previous singles from the album went to number one on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart — and if this single reaches the top spot too, it'll mark the first time in history any artist has had six number ones from the same album. Michael Jackson also scored five number ones, on his album 'Bad' in 1987 and 1988. Perry is currently tied with Jackson and is the first woman to earn five chart-toppers from the same album.
'The One That Got Away' will be released next month. Perry's five number ones from 'Teenage Dream' are 'California Gurls,' 'Teenage Dream,' 'Firework,' 'E.T.' and 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)'
Check out 'The One That Got Away,' below:

NEW YORK, Aug. 27 (UPI) -- U.S. singer-actress Miley Cyrus is bragging about the attention she received through social media for her raunchy 2013 MTV Video Music Awards performance.
UsMagazine.com said the 20-year-old former "Hannah Montana" star set a record on Twitter after people offered their mixed reactions to the performance of her hit "We Can't Stop" and her "Blurred Lines" duet with Robin Thicke at Brooklyn's Barclays Center Sunday night.
Cyrus was seen scantily clad, grinding against Thicke in a suggestive manner and making vulgar gestures with a foam finger throughout the performance.
"Smilers! My VMA performance had 306,000 tweets per minute," Cyrus tweeted Monday. "That's more than the blackout or Superbowl! #fact."

I've dropped all my subscriptions (I used to regularly subscribe to 10-20 magazines) except to Road Racing World because they have the best data panels in tests. When journalists (some of them with the title "technical editor") with over 40 years of experience put clearly wrong stuff (that when called on about the error admit they do know the right information) into articles with what appears to be a "our readers don't know the difference, it doesn't matter" attitude, there's not much reason for me to give them my money.
That comment "our readers don't know the difference, it doesn't matter" is an actual response I received from a writer when I questioned him about an error in an article.

As we look forward to a number of superhero films hitting theaters this year, there's also plenty by way of costumed characters heading our way in 2014 and 2015 as well. One such anticipated property is 20th Century Fox's reboot of Fantastic Four. The studio tapped Chronicle director Josh Trank to take the helm, and the project was recently given a March 2015 release date. As comics guru Mark Millar was just hired on at Fox as their creative consultant on all things Marvel, the talkative creative has been privy to all the in-the-works projects, including Fantastic Four. Now Millar has spoken up a bit about the reboot, teasing what fans can expect from Trank's iteration of the characters. Hit the jump to see what he had to say.
During an interview with SciFiNow, Millar revealed that Trank is working on contemporizing the story:
"From what I've seen and from talking to him – he and I have had dinner a couple of times and we talk quite regularly as well – he's contemporizing it. I think he's just making it work for the screen – he's a great storyteller."
He went on to talk about the pic's tone, teasing that it will include elements that have yet to grace the silver screen:
"What I wasn't expecting actually was just how funny and likeable he could make this as well as getting the more awesome moments on screen – I use awesome in the traditional British sense and not the California sense awesome, you know? The Ridley Scott moments, and the Fantastic Four really are jaw-dropping in the same way you feel when you saw Alien for the first time. There's some moments in this – not to be specific – that are actually gonna be phenomenal on screen and stuff you haven't seen in a superhero movie before."
Hopefully we hear more about the project as it moves closer to production. The Fantastic Four will open on March 6, 2015.

Ask not what motorists can do for youPosted on
So far this year, nine people riding bicycles have died as a result of a crash with a motor vehicle. According to the Journal Sentinel's review of the police crash reports, motorists were at fault in five of the crashes and bicyclists were at fault in four. Those numbers are so small that we can't draw too many conclusions from them by themselves, but they align reasonably well with the historic trends in bicycle crashes in Wisconsin. In a review of all bicycle crashes with motor vehicles from 1999-2004 done by the Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicles, motorists were at fault 57% of the time and bicyclists 43%.
Tom Held reported last week Friday in his "Off the Couch" blog that five of the people who were killed while riding bicycles were hit from behind by an overtaking motor vehicle. Those types of crashes are very rare, often result in the death of the person riding the bicycle and are almost impossible to avoid. Tom noted that in the remaining four fatal crashes, the people on the bicycles were at fault for riding into the path of the motor vehicles.Advertisement
My point in bringing this up is not to point fingers, but to point out that we as a community have the power to dramatically improve our own safety. We don't have to wait for people driving motor vehicles to respect us, stop speeding, give us three feet when passing, or anything else. We don't have to wait at all. All we have to do to reduce the number of people killed while riding bicycles by almost 50% is to obey the laws and learn how to avoid the most likely crashes.
I touched on this idea in a recent post titled "We can be the change we want to see." In that post I suggested that since most people who ride bicycles also drive cars, before we blame "motorists," we can start with our own behavior behind the wheel and always drive the speed limit, stop for pedestrians and rather than talking on mobile phones, eating oatmeal or combing our hair, we should give our full attention to the task of driving. Since 49% of Wisconsin residents 16 and older ride bicycles, our community could have a huge positive impact on traffic safety if we all drive our cars like we expect others to do when we are riding bicycles or walking.
After discussing this year's fatal bicycle crashes with Tom, it became clear that the cycling community can do even more to make Wisconsin the safest place to ride a bicycle in the country. Certainly people are human and they make mistakes behind the wheel. Unintentional violations of the law can be considered accidents, but most crashes are not accidents. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration put it this way:
- "Changing the way we think about events, and the words we use to describe them, affects the way we behave. Motor vehicle crashes and injuries are predictable, preventable events. Continued use of the word "accident" promotes the concept that these events are outside of human influence or control. In fact, they are predictable results of specific actions."
While we cannot eliminate human error, we can dramatically reduce the number of people killed while riding bicycles if we all do a better job of obeying the laws and learn where crashes are likely to happen. Let's start with the 5 basics of bicycle safety:
- Ride your bicycle in the same direction as traffic
- Stop at red lights and stop signs
- Ride in a predictable manner
- Stay 3 feet from parked cars to avoid the door zone
- Look both ways before riding out into traffic
As far as learning to recognize where crashes are likely to happen, you don't have to read the entire 84 page detailed crash typing study done by WisDOT, but the Major Findings section summarizes results that are significant and worth noting.
"…there were far more urban crashes than rural crashes (94% compared 6%), the majority of crashes occurred at intersections (66% compared to 34%), there was a high frequency of sidewalk/crosswalk-type crashes (28% of all crashes), and there were lower crash rates on wider roadways for both local roads and state highways. While urban streets had a much higher crash rate, rural highways had a much higher rate of fatalities (fatal crashes as a percent of all bike – vehicle crashes). Four of the top five crash types (and 7 of the top 10) indicated that the motorist made the critical error that contributed to the crash."
Our takeaway from that is crashes are most likely to happen at intersections. People on bikes should beware of the "left cross" and the "right hook." When approaching an intersection, bicyclists should move closer to the center of their lane to indicate their intention to continue straight to the drivers in both oncoming vehicles and overtaking vehicles. By moving away from the curb and "taking the lane" the driver behind the bicycle knows not to try to hurry past and turn right. Approaching motorists who want to turn left will also know they have to wait before turning.
The Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin will continue to work for tougher enforcement of laws that protect people on bicycles. In fact, we are drafting legislation now, that if passed, will improve the protections of the most vulnerable users of the road. So while we cannot ignore the fact that five of the nine people who died in bicycle crashes were killed through no fault of their own, neither can we ignore that four people might have avoided a crash if they had been following the rules of the road. And so my fellow bicyclists, as a beginning, let us ask not what motorists can do to improve our safety - ask instead what we can do for ourselves.
